It will be necessary to take into your consideration
tha demands on the Treasury for the next two years
over and above the ordinary expenses and to provide
the means of meeting them. These demands all
arise from liabilities for the Raleigh and Gaston
Kail Road Company, and may be stated as follows :
The State endorsed for the Company at one time,
Bonds to the amount of S500.000, and at another
300,000 more. Of the last issue 513,000 were not
used, and therefore that sum is to be substracted
from tha State's liabilities. Two instalments of
$30,000 each have been also paid heretofore oil the
latter class of Boads, so as to reduce the amount due
on them to $227,000 and therefore-he total vatao
to $727,000. As it is yet uncertain wbM disposition
the Legislature will make of the Rail Koad, or what
recoveries Will be obtained from Stockholders and
Subscribaaavon their individual obligations, and at
wnat time any aid to the 1 rensury may be expected
from tnese sources, it is important to ascertain toe
liabilities to be met before the next session of the
Legislature and tha resources at our command for
that purpose. There will fall due

BOMBARDMENT OF TABASCO.
Wt have been furnished by an officer of the Navy,
who arrived here this morning in the schooner Por
tia, Capt. Powera, six days from Point Lizardo, who
was engaged in the affair of Tabasco, with the an
nexed summary and sketch of the proceedings of
Com. Perry, wilh the detachment of vessels sent un
der him against Tabasco. The enterprise was alto
gether successful. The object of the expedition
was to cut out certain prizes anchored in the river.
These were all taken. When the City was sum
moned to surrender, the people were all in favor of
yielding at ouce. The Governor ami soldiery opposed
it. Time was given for all peaceable persons, wo
men and children, to get out of harm' way ; but the
Governor would not allow an- one to leave, so that
it is feared most of those killed during the bombard
ment were not soldiers. Some of the regulars were
killed. Had it not been that the execution was
Drincinallv done upon inoffensive persons, the. City
would h ive been demolished, with the exception of
the residences of the Foreign' Consuls and the Hos
pitals. Squadron consisting of the Mississippi, Com. Per
ry; Vixen, Com'r. Sands; Bonita, Lieut Com'g.
Benham ; Reefer, Lieut. Sterrct ; Nonita, Lieut Ha
fard : revenue steamer MeLane, C.ipt. Howard ; re
venue cutter Forward, Capt Nones; 200 seamen
and marines from tho Rsritan and Cumberland, un
der command of Capt Forrest, Licuts. Gist, Wins
TowTWalsh, Hunt, Capt. Edson and Lieut. Adams,
of the Marines. Left Anton Lizardo on the 16th
October, and arrived at Frontera on the 23d. Cap
tured steamers Petrita and Tabasqucua, and several
small vessels. 24th and 2,th ascended the river 72
miles to Tabasco: the current very rapid towed
by the Petrita and. Vixen, passed Devil's Turn at
2, P. M., landed and spiked four 24 pounders. Ar
rived off Tabasco at 4 P. M., and anchored in line a
hend ilistant 150 yards of the shore. Summoned
the City to surrender. Governor refused. Fired
three shots from the' Vixen one cut the flag-stnff of
the fort, and as tho color fell we thought that they
had surrendered.' Au officer came off with a request
that wo would spare their hospitals, which was gran
ted. At 5 o'clock, landed 200 seamen and marines,
but as it .'was too late to attack the fort, they
were ordered on board. Some skirmishing ensued,
but none of us were hurt. This was Sunday, and
the Commodore was somewhat reluctant to com
mence the attack on that day. Captured one brig,
three schooners, aud one large sloop ; also captured
one schooner before 'we arrived at Frontera, and an
other on our passage up the river making in nil,
one brig, five schooners, two steamers, and one sloop,
and many small craft and lighters. Monday, 20th,
at day light, a sharp fire of musketry from shore,
which waa returned by our great guns whenever we
heard a report. Firing continued for sopie time at
intervals. When a white Flag was shown by the ci
vilians on shore, no doubt with the consent of the
Governor. Sent off a petition to the Commodore to
spare the town, which he granted, nddirlg that hcen
ly desired to fight tha soldiery. Got the priies un
der weigh and made every preparation for return-
ine ; white Hag Hying all the wmic. iieut. w, a.
Parker got on shore with his prize vessel, near tho
City, and waa attacked by abiut eighty aoimers,
we beat off with eighteen men, losing only one and
having but two wounded. This affair lasted thirty
minutes. Lieut C. W. Morris wot despatched to
him with orders, and passing the heavy fire of the
enemt, was wounded in the neck by a musket ball.
Lieut. Morris stood up in his boat and cheered the
men most gallantly nntU he fell into the arms of
Midshipman Uhceter; , who was witn mm. mc
Commodore then commenced canonading in earnest
from the Vixen, Bonita, Nonita and -forward, and
n the space of halt or tureo fourths or an hour, al
most demolished the City. : j
At about midday the fleet left I abasco, and, as it
pasi)d the different streets at 'ljight, angles with the
water, tired musketry and great guna, and swept tnem
completely of every living things All the prizes
were savea vrua me excepiion 01 one, wnicn was
burnt by the Commodore's order, it having been
found impossible to get her clear of the '-Devil's
Turn," a rapid: pass in the river.
-Arrived at t rontera on auniinv at midnight in
habitants all peaceful having been kept in awe du
ring our absence by Lieut. Walsh and his oomraand.
It will be seen by reading this cursory report that
the" Commodore spared the City out of feelings of
humanity. The k'- Mtaats could not leave, as the
Governor would nolttnit them ; hence they sought
refuge in cellars during the cannonading, aud thus
escaped destruction. , Had it not been that we were
necessarily obliged to kill many innocent persons
before taking tho city.Tabasco at this moment wouia
have been ours. As ft is, we have paid them dearly
for the shot that deprived us of Lieut. Morns long
will they remember our visit and dread the .return
